I had put up an earlier post questioning the scale of this kit; once done I put it next to my S'hot Kal and it is 1/35 scale; the height and width of the add-ons are disconcerting. This kit was an excellent build; all I added was a little stowage. I made my own sand grey from Tamiya paints. I look forward to my next Tiger Models build; they did a great job. Everything fit, and the slat armor looks boss!

It's only a little thing, but Man you nailed that box! Overall nice build, with marvellous attention to the little details. Bravo!

Beautiful. I love the subtle weathering of a vehicle in use but well cared for by its crew.
If I may offer some advice, it would be to clean up mold seams and where parts used to be connected to the tree. This is most obvious on the storage cage on the engine deck end on the ends of the bar armor in the last 2 pictures.

LOL, I do clean them up...I'm just not that good at it! I dug too deep on the storage cage, and there were just so many bar ends that I just slapped paint on them! Not noticeable on the model, only on the macro pictures, which are fun but accentuate blemishes. I'll try harder next time...that's the name of the game! Thanks, Gary.

You sound just like me. I go at them for a while, then I get impatient. And even when I think I've got them all, I find more after I paint.
